Data Types in RADIUS
RFC 8044

Received changes through RFC Editor sync (created alias RFC 8044, changed title to 'Data Types in RADIUS', changed abstract to 'RADIUS specifications have used data types for two decades without defining them as managed entities.  During this time, RADIUS implementations have named the data types and have used them in attribute definitions.  This document updates the specifications to better follow established practice.  We do this by naming the data types defined in RFC 6158, which have been used since at least the publication of RFC 2865.  We provide an IANA registry for the data types and update the "RADIUS Attribute Types" registry to include a Data Type field for each attribute.  Finally, we recommend that authors of RADIUS specifications use these types in preference to existing practice.  This document updates RFCs 2865, 3162, 4072, 6158, 6572, and 7268.', changed pages to 35, changed standardization level to Proposed Standard, changed state to RFC, added RFC published event at 2017-01-25, changed IESG state to RFC Published, created updates relation between draft-ietf-radext-datatypes and RFC 2865, created updates relation between draft-ietf-radext-datatypes and RFC 3162, created updates relation between draft-ietf-radext-datatypes and RFC 4072, created updates relation between draft-ietf-radext-datatypes and RFC 6158, created updates relation between draft-ietf-radext-datatypes and RFC 6572, created updates relation between draft-ietf-radext-datatypes and RFC 7268)
